Braves vs Blue Jays Prediction 

Atlanta was able to get the narrow win on Tuesday to start this series and they have won four of their last five games. The Braves are 18-10 at home this year, while the Blue Jays are 12-19 on the road. Toronto has dropped three in a row and they have allowed 19 runs during that span. The Blue Jays are starting Corbin, who has allowed two earned runs or fewer in three of his last five starts, while Holmes has allowed two earned runs or fewer in three of his last four outings. Both pitchers have been solid, but I like the Braves at home here.
